To be accurate, the large outlet is 240V and the standard household outlet is 120V. They haven't been properly referred to as 110 or 220 for about 50 years. The nominal household voltage of today's US electric system is 120/240V. Not 110/220V. I realize to some this is splitting hairs, but that's my comment.
The one at my apartment complex is electric, but I thought it was smoking one time & it set the alarm off where I live, but it didn’t smell like smoke & I was told it’s moist not smoke. At first though I thought it was carbon monoxide in the air
Does an electric dryer still require a vent out? If so, does it matter if the vent hose out to the outside is too long? Can indoor floor/box vent be used to avoid having to vent outside?
Yes, an electric dryer will require a vent to go outside. You should always have it vent outside. If the hose is too long the air blowing out may not be enough to prevent lint from building up quickly.
Electric dryers will take longer to heat up, and might not get as hot as a gas dryer. Although electric will be both safer and the less costly option since most are now designed to be energy efficient. Hopefully this helps!
Or, in some deserts, neither. Where I live, there is a huge nuclear dryer in the sky, 330 days a year, and it would be ridiculous to replace a clothesline with an energy-consuming dryer. Most people in my city use gas or electric. On the rare occasions that it rains, I sometimes have to wait a day or two for the blast of desiccating, disinfecting energy from the sun.
Hello. Often times when you move into a new home or are new to home buying you may not know immediately if you have gas or electric. This video helps you determine what type you have.
Very helpful video without all the extra talking. Straight to the point. Great video. Thanks!

Wait.. so what’s the difference aside from one is gas and one is electric? Lol
Like, do they dry the same? Cost the same as far as usage go?

@@Donsappliances I don't have 220 thou

Thank youuuu
My apartment complex is a 110 cord but I was told it’s an electric dryer
Thanks
I think I have both lol
If you have both a gas line and electric line ( 2 lines), it would be a gas dryer!
Or, in some deserts, neither. Where I live, there is a huge nuclear dryer in the sky, 330 days a year, and it would be ridiculous to replace a clothesline with an energy-consuming dryer. Most people in my city use gas or electric. On the rare occasions that it rains, I sometimes have to wait a day or two for the blast of desiccating, disinfecting energy from the sun.
Thanks for the feedback, Mark. We're located in Pittsburgh but many consumers throughout the country need a dryer.
Can you have both

Hello. Often times when you move into a new home or are new to home buying you may not know immediately if you have gas or electric. This video helps you determine what type you have.

Hello. Please let us know if you have any questions regarding our video about gas versus electric dryers.
Didn't help at all
Pointless video
From the feedback and comments below I think many would disagree but hey thanks for the comment!
Super helpful. Idk why you aren’t the top result on google. Would have saved me the digging.
